Apple Inc.
AAPL
shares are trading lower by $0.50 at $105.26 in Monday's session. It has rallied $16.80 from its low off the open ($92.00) to $108.80 before falling back to its current level. After a sharply lower open ($94.87 vs. Friday's close of $105.76), it revisted levels not seen since June 30, 2014 at $92.09. That was put in place as the issue was on its march to its all time high made on Arpil 28 ($134.54) that was made following a better-than-expected Q2 earnings report. The issue, which turned north well ahead of the broad market, was deluged with sell-stops and margin selling that were the major factors for such a sharp decline. After all,. how can a company like Apple shed 13 percent of its value overnight.? Interestingly, Apple began trading at the $92 after it 7 for 1 stock split in early June of last year. For now, longer term investors just may keeping an eye on Friday's close ($105.76), the area in which it is now trading to determine the next move in the biggest component of the S&P 500 Index.
